Daniel Kitson is to perform his Show For Christmas in New York. The story, which premiered at the Battersea Arts Centre last December will be told at the Connelly Theatre in the East Village from December 8 to 18. Kitson says the 'pretty lovely' tale 'deals with all your archetypal seasonal fare.

Tickets will be available here from midday EST, 5pm UK time. Read our review here
